For the last four years, I've been hoping for a chance to have Ambrosia cater one of our family…read morecelebrations. When we started planning our son's baptism, I actually scheduled the reception around their availability because I knew it would be worth the wait. From the beginning, Ronda was so kind, genuine, and wonderful to work with. She made us feel like she truly cared about making our family's day special. Our reception was at Courter Country Farm, and even the venue had nothing but wonderful things to say about Ambrosia. After experiencing it ourselves, I completely understand why. The food was incredible. Every single thing was exactly what we had envisioned, and guests kept coming up to tell us how amazing everything tasted. The prime rib was hands down the best I've ever had. That's saying something because I make prime rib every Christmas and consider myself pretty picky (especially my husband)! Somehow Ronda managed to make it even better, and her horseradish sauce had the perfect spicy kick that we absolutely loved. What stood out most, though, wasn't just the food, it was how much heart went into everything. You could tell this wasn't just another catering job. It felt like she genuinely wanted our family and friends to have a beautiful experience, and she delivered exactly that. Our son's baptism is a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives, and Ambrosia played a huge part in making it so memorable. We felt incredibly blessed to celebrate with so many people we love while serving food that everyone is still talking about. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on Ambrosia's calendar, don't hesitate. I completely understand why they're booked so far in advance, and after waiting four years myself, I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation. I'll be sharing photos soon, but I couldn't wait to write this review. Thank you, Ronda, for helping make one of the most meaningful days in our family's life even more special.

Chef Sunshine Catering provided very lovely food for our wedding this past September (my mom still…read moresays the majority of the apps/dishes were too salty, agree to disagree). Unfortunately, my mom and I CAN agree that the food is now the only positive component of our interaction. This company has been so unprofessional and dismissive of my family's reasonable concerns regarding our wedding post event and it is all very upsetting, especially following such a joyous event. The gist is that we had a few basic points of feedback that we wanted addressed, which included the salads not being individually plated and pre-set (the salad type was specifically chosen given options delineated by the caterer for this purpose), running out of potable water (of which we paid for), and a variety of guest service concerns including the bartender informing guests that they were "running out of wine" when we had cases of wine available to be brought out. Our contact responded to our concerns very unprofessionally and over-reactively (IMHO) in her first email. Then, when my mom took the time to provide further detail and support of the issues at hand, and express her own frustrations as a key financial stakeholder in the wedding, that email was met with a very terse response that didn't even address any of the items that had been thoughtfully (and factually) laid out. All our contact said was that they "take all clients concerns seriously" and then "wished us all the best" and then, that was that. Short and not so sweet. Never an apology or ownership, just defensiveness, blame, and then a couple thank you for the feedback. We paid this company thousands of dollars for our once in a lifetime event and not having concerns addressed appropriately and professionally is just a complete let down, on multiple levels. I understand that there are not a ton of options out on the peninsula. What I am confused about is the lack of adherence to even a base line of customer service, let alone this "superior service" that they boast. To make matters even more disappointing, to date we have not been contacted by Chef Sunshine herself (not to mention neither she or Chef Patrick checked in on us once at our Tasting which is fairly standard practice). I have over 10 years of experience working in the hospitality industry and I was so excited to work with a caterer whose reviews boasted kindness, price flexibility, and creativity--in the end, given our final interactions with this company, success in all of these areas (and more) fell very short of expectations.

My now husband and I hired Sunshine's to cater our wedding for about eighty people out in Port…read moreGamble, and they were fabulous! I can't even begin to describe how many compliments we received on the food. Between an amazing cheese platter featuring all local cheeses (I'm still receiving inquiries about which cheese they used!) to a beautifully plated, delicious buffet with a menu customized just for us, there are no words to describe how tasty everything was! Their service was also beyond reproach. Since our venue typically uses a list of set caterers they require any outside caterers to tour the premises so they have a clear proposal for how they use the space. Sunshine, her husband, and their chef all drove nearly 80 miles and took a ferry to spend the afternoon touring the space. We were also able to sit down with Sunshine and plan out a menu that worked perfectly with our theme and worked well within our budget. Their prices were extremely reasonable and well worth every cent! During our wedding they went out of their way to make sure my husband and I got to try everything, packaged up all the leftovers for us, and even helped clean up! Without a doubt, hiring Sunshine's was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. I couldn't be happier with the results and encourage anyone thinking of hiring them to do so without a doubt!

We just recently had Shooby Doo cater for our wedding. Let me tell you, it was absolutely…read moreincredible. When we began our search for a caterer, we found Shooby Doo Catering, tried one meal with them, and decided we didn't need to look anywhere else. Their food is a delicate fusion of Asian and American cuisine and they manage to blend beautiful flavors together without making their food overly salty or overwhelming. While all the food was amazing, I have to point out a few items that we ordered. They have a large menu but they were willing to customize the menu for us. Ahi Poke Taco | Shoyu sesame marinated sushi grade ahi tuna, Asian spicy slaw, crispy wonton shell, sriracha lime kewpie mayo, micro cilantro. This appetizer was AMAZING. I had it at their partner restaurant, Bar Dojo, and knew it would be a hit. Several guests consumed 3-4 of these before the meal came out. Seared Scallops | jumbo U-10 scallops, caramelized, served with a lemon burre blanc* These scallops were huge and perfectly seasoned. They were handled with class and the chefs made sure that none of them were overcooked and rubbery. Absolute perfection. Braised Pork Belly (GF, DF) | all-natural pork belly in honey lemon hoisin glaze, served with fresh scallions and pickled cucumber When we picked this dish, we didn't know what to expect. Surprisingly about a third of our guests chose this dish over braised beef and scallops and my brother, who tried all the plates, chose this as his favorite. The pork belly was as smooth as butter and well balanced with the scallions and pickled cucumber. You cannot go wrong with if you go with them. Ariana, who I communicated with, went above and beyond and made sure everything went smoothly leading up to the event. You will not be disappointed!

We had our annual event on October 8th at the Edmonds Waterfront Center with Shooby Doo catering as…read morethe food vendor. The Waterfront Center has them as an exclusive contract so we had no choice but to use this caterer. We signed up with them back in 2020 believing that we would have an in-person event in 2021 but the Delta virus made us have to do a virtual event. Shooby-doo refused to refund our significant down-payment, so we were stuck with them for a future opportunity. Which we utilized them, as I said, on October 8th 2022. The tasting that we did those years ago was absolutely wonderful. The food was quite delicious. And that team worked with us to make sure that we would have a really good selection of food items to meet all pallets, allergies, and so forth. Thus, the food is quite expensive. The major issue that we had with this company is that we are a non-profit organization and have to abide by state guidelines in regard to serving alcohol. It was almost impossible to work with Scooby-Doo on this issue because they had really bad information that they kept telling us was accurate. It was not good. It took weeks on end to finally get them to deal with the state directly and understand that we were correct and we would not do anything that would potentially jeopardize our nonprofit status. In the end it was resolved well but the frustration that we were put through is still something that has a scab on the wound. One expects for someone who is providing a service that particularly has to meet state guidelines would know what they are doing and what they are talking about. And not asking us to work in a gray area. And that's what we were told over and over again. "Just work in the gray area", but like I said it was finally resolved. One other minor thing that was aggravating but we dealt with quickly was them wanting us to get more alcohol than we needed. We got what we knew we needed and still had a few bottles left over. And the only other minor aggravation was they didn't know their full contract the evening of when everything was said and done. They thought we were supposed to be out of the building at 10:00 p.m. but we were actually scheduled to be out by midnight. Again it got resolved but it was something else to add to a more stressful moment in time. Now on to the good stuff: The night of the event was extraordinary. Their employees had everything set up in advance as it was supposed to be and the venue looked amazing. They were so friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. They literally catered to our every need asking questions along the way to make sure that we were satisfied before our guests even arrived. The staff members were amazing. The food was out of the ballpark extraordinary. People absolutely loved the food. We had a double-sided buffet in order to make things would go smooth and quickly. I'm glad we opted for that rather than having them serve the dishes. It worked well. I'm absolutely sure that we would never use Shooby Doo again for our agency events, because of the massive issues we had with them in the beginning. However, I do think they would be good for things that are not related to being a non-profit: Like weddings, birthdays, small corporation celebrations, and such. If you're considering Shooby Doo to cater your nonprofit organization, be careful, be warned, and make sure you check everything, especially the legality around alcohol service. Also, know and monitor the contract so that you know exactly what's in it. While the service was excellent the night of, and the food was extraordinary, the price tag on this event was far more than we anticipated. We recognize that food costs are up and inflation is a nightmare but this is a very expensive catering service. Scooby-Doo gets a five star on the food quality and the evening of service. They get a one star on the knowledge on working with nonprofits, or at least with our non-profit. They get a negative 5 for not allowing us to get our down-payment back when the Delta virus came and shut everything down for everyone. I feel they should have offered it back with perhaps a small penalty but they did not so we were forced to have to use them a couple years later. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I told them that I would give an honest review. And this review is that.

Tried their BBQ for the first time today. They were at the Taste Of Port Orchard. First, I'll say…read morethis is the best BBQ I've had anywhere. I had the 1/2 beef brisket sandwich and it was the real deal. The pitmaster said he'd had it in the smoker for 18 hours. You could taste every delicious hour. Chopped brisket with a nice smoky flavor served on a small bun. They had squeeze bottles of their housemade BBQ sauce. I chose the Tasty Texas (I think that's the name) which a lady said was their spiciest. It wasn't spicy at all to me but it was thick, rich, and oh so good. Secondly, I'm very frustrated with them because I can't walk into a restaurant to eat more of their Q. I have to wait for special events and look to see if they'll be there. Just so happens I tried the brisket sandwich of another well-known BBQ guy yesterday at another local festival. I was very disappointed because it didn't taste like real BBQ. I'm a home smoker and I know how to make great BBQ brisket and pork ribs. So trust me when I say again that All Fired Up is the real deal. Be sure to check them out if they're at a booth someplace. Next time out I'm trying their baby back ribs. If you're planning a catered event and want top quality BBQ definitely give them a call.

For their package where you pick 3 meats we suggested picking 2 and having a vegetarian option instead for the third. He said no this isnt necessarily, pick the three meats and he will throw a couple portabella mushrooms on the grill for the few vegetarians. He said to include them in the final count and email him before the event with the number of vegetarians and to let the vegetarians know to request them from the servers, as if they put them out on the buffet everyone will eat them. We did this and he responded to the email with the final invoice which we paid before the event. Day of the wedding we find out at the end of the meal our vegetarians asked about the mushrooms and they were told it wasn't on the invoice and we never paid for it. Absolutely embarrassing and extremely unprofessional. Now our guests think we didn't do anything for them and it was our mistake. We did pay for them and was told they'd have mushrooms instead. Reached out to voice my disappointment vs going to a review and his response was my cordinator should have noticed it wasn't on the invoice (i told her this is how he wanted it done and that's why they weren't there) and he also mentioned the food that was there turned out good as if that was supposed to fix everything. They are too busy opening up their new restaurant and don't care about you. Don't trust them for your big event!
